The best flat track motorcycle racers in the world line up at the Indiana State Fairgrounds for the Indy Mile on July 11. Bryan Smith will try to make it four straight wins on a Mile course, but Brandon Robinson, Brad Baker, Sammy Halbert, Jared Mees, Kenny Coolbeth, Mikey Martin and the rest of the stars of AMA Pro Flat Track will look to end Smith's streak.

1:01:09 Brad Baker suffered a horrible paralyzing injury. On July 22, 2018, in qualifying for the 2018 X Games Harley-Davidson Flat-Track event, Baker experienced a severe high side that threw him over the bars. He was taken to a local hospital. After being rushed to the hospital, Baker spent the rest of the day undergoing back surgery to repair a multiple fractured T6 vertebrae. Fragments of his vertebrae damaged his spinal cord and was putting pressure on it causing paralysis from the middle of his back down.

11:40 Shawn Baer accident. Motorcycle broke in 2 pieces. Think of the forces involved to break a motorcycle in 2 and think what would happen to your body. Near death experience. It looks like the front end of the motorcycle passed in front of and tore off the visor of rider #17 Henry Wiles 15:23 A fraction of a second later, that would have torn his head off.

So was 2015 the last Indy Mile race at the Indy Fair Grounds? I read that the Promoters told the AMA the crowds were not large enough to turn a profit?? Wow what a change with Indian coming in in such a Dominant way .. Cry babies say that Indian Engines are purpose built race Engines yet Harley has Vance and Hines build their motors with 2 overhead cams and twin injector bodies where as the Stock FG Harley has single cam and single throttle body .. I am all for production based bike racing .. Something to keep racing more affordable . Sounds like in 2017 and 2018 the Crowds are about double what they had been in previous years. Bring in some out side sponsors and out side money into the sport and more Motorcycle Factories than just one brand .. with Big Money and Factory support .. hope to see KTM in 2019 … Looks like the Singles class is well represented with several brands as they are basically using Motocross bikes .. with shortened suspensions ..

52:35 shows two springs attaching the exhaust pipes to the cylinders. Are the exhaust pipes bolted to the cylinders or do these springs hold them there?

@dylanfan424 8 жыл бұрын

+SanFranciscoBay They are typically held on by the springs.

@sanfranciscobay 5 жыл бұрын

@@dylanfan424 Why don't they use nuts and bolts to hold the exhaust pipes on? Is it so if they crash, the parts come off without doing more damage the cylinders?

@dylanfan424 5 жыл бұрын

SanFranciscoBay no it has nothing to do with crash replacement it is simply for the fact of vibration. If you had a rigid mounted exhaust you will eventually crack the exhaust or the cylinder head from the repeated vibration.

@@dylanfan424 I would think the exhaust gasses would easily force the pipes off. Do all motorcycles use springs to hold the exhaust pipes to the cylinders?

@dylanfan424 5 жыл бұрын

SanFranciscoBay yes almost all motorcycles use springs to attach the header pipes to the cylinders. The exhaust gasses are not as strong as you think and they will take the path of least resistance ie the open pipe. Also the springs used are very strong and require a special spring tool to install and remove them.
